The Best Sushi In Atlanta

The art of Sushi creation is always on full display at Nakato.

Our highly skilled Japan-born Sushi Chefs, led by Executive Chef Yoshi Kinjo, start by sourcing only the most pristine fish from Japan.  The quality of fish is based on Nakato's long-time relationships with purveyors in Japan who are familiar with the restaurant's extremely high standard.

Several times each week, those purveyors overnight large containers of ice-covered whole fish that were just caught in the waters of Japan. These boxes are brimming with everything from immense Bigeye, Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna, as well as Salmon, Hamachi, Kinmedai, Unagi, Bonito, Uni and more.

 Immediately upon arrival, Nakato's Sushi Chefs go to work breaking down each of these whole fish, utilizing the knife skills they learned during their multi-year apprenticeships in Japan and throughout the world.

Nakato's supremely talented Sushi Chefs then begin crafting stunningly beautiful slices of fish that will shine as Sashimi and Nigiri, and cutting exact, even strips to create Atlanta's most delicious Sushi Rolls. For guests sitting around Nakato's Sushi Counter, this artistry is a simply magnificent to behold.

Some of Nakato's most popular Sushi Rolls include the King Kong Roll (Spicy Salmon, Scallion, Tempura Flakes, Avocado, Spicy Aoili, Eel Sauce and tempura flakes), Illuminati (Yellowtail, Salmon, Spicy Tuna and Avocado, topped with spicy aioli and eel sauce) and the Samurai Roll (Yellowtail, Salmon, Spicy Tuna, Avocado, Micro Greens and Tempura Flakes).

Nakato's Sushi can be enjoyed nightly in their Garden Dining Room, Sushi Bar, Hibachi Tables and newly crafted Bar, as well as ordered to enjoy to-go during both lunch or dinner, as well as in Nakato's stunning Sushi Cakes and extensive Catering Menu.
